I'm hoping to fill out the third rack of Paris before I leave, if the wife lets me

well done!!!

Cosmopolitan is easily the way to go if you can find a reasonable rate! The balcony is a game changer, actually slept (well, passed out) on our balcony last year. Next year, check out the wrap-around suite, my favorite room in Vegas by a long shot that isn't ten grand a night.

You've got to love the Aria buffet asking you to pay for the service tip before you've even got in the buffet. Then they make you wait 15 minutes to be sat.

The only tip they'll get from me is to sort their shit out

I don't really like the Luxor label, but those edge spots are HAWT!

 

[Perthmike]

I don't really like the Luxor label, but those edge spots are HAWT!

Don't worry, I'll be murdering them and redesigning a better, faux-shaped laminated label hopefully. Same with the Mandalays. They need to roughly match the style of the stardusts, in order to be a cohesive mixed set.

You Americans make me laugh. Why do you need jars this big

Um....so we can eat as much as we want without opening a second jar or going back to the store.... obviously. It's efficient.

I also just asked in Walmart if they sold guns. I got some funny looks for that one, but they pointed me in the direction of dicks sporting goods, or apple valley Walmart lol

I just want to see guns for sale in a supermarket. That would make my trip complete.

Only buying one and trying to import it in Australia would do this

Both those items come in much bigger jars. Go to a Sams Club or Costco.

First, great thread, I’ve really enjoyed it. I haven’t been to Vegas in a few years and now I’m planning a trip.

Second, if you want the true American experience, see below. There’s a buffet, gas pumps, and most of the guns are not behind a counter. ‘Murica!

For the long weekend barbie

Have to remember that California in some respects isn't exactly America. It's certainly not 'Murica.

 

[Perthmike]

I just drove all the way to a dicks sporting goods and they don't even sell guns. Honestly. What kind of a sporting goods store doesn't sell weapons. What is this place.

 

[WedgeRock]

Dick's here sells guns... Mostly long guns, tho.

Isn't there a kick-ass range in LVNV where you can rent fully autos?

 

[BGinGA]

Well, down here in Georgia 'Murica I can buy guns at Walmart, Dick's, the pawn shop located between them, and out in the back alley from some well-dressed guy in a black Lexus. Very easy to price-comparison shop.

Unfortunately I'm out of time. I was a bit early back to LA so I thought I'd go shopping for guns in grocery and sporting stores.

 

[Sprouty]

The pharmacy I pass every year on my way to visit family in Georgia.

 

[BGinGA]

lol, great security at that place, too.... pretty unlikely it EVER gets robbed.

Yes. https://thegunstorelasvegas.com/

Yep. It’s a tourist trap. But where else can an Austrian shoot full auto.

I need to change my pcf name to Austrianmike

Final post from America. Such an epic trip and I miss Vegas already. I'd love to come back again, and I'm really hoping it will be next year and maybe i can do a trip report as I destroy my bankroll playing crazy mixed games with @detroitdad and his Michigan crew.

The airport security were as officious and inefficient as I knew they would be. Luckily I expected such incompetence and arrived early. They were particularly suspicious of the 12 racks of chips I had split between both of our carry-ons

I've got a 14 hour flight to Brisbane and then another 5 to Perth. Luckily I'm in business class for the first leg, so I'll lay back and drink a few champagnes.

Thanks all for following along the journey.

Travel safely, @Viennamike!

Boy, your wife’s gonna be pissed that you didn’t upgrade her too...

Hahaha yeah I'd never get away with leaving her in economy. Might be funny to try next time though
